A great, atmospheric place. Be sure to visit at sunset or dawn, the views are beautiful. It upsets the paid entrance per person, after all, such places should be available to tourists for free, but this is not about Abkhazia, they will soon start charging for breathing their air. Sorry.
A unique place that is worth visiting for anyone who is interested in nature and geology. Quadro Pedro's ATV riding made a special impression. It was a great addition to the main tour — an exciting trip through the picturesque surroundings, full of adrenaline and new experiences. I recommend everyone to try it!
It's worth coming up here. The climb is difficult. I do not recommend going with small children. They will get tired and you will carry them on yourself, but it is hard to walk here without a burden. There is a more gentle rise, but longer and shorter, but very steep, without trails. Be sure to bring water with you. Even if you drink on the way, do not throw away the bottle. Thank yourself when you get to the top. You will be very thirsty. You will need an empty bottle upstairs to get water from the well. You will be delighted with the views from above this mountain. The fortress is active upstairs, services are underway. There is a chapel.
Perhaps this is one of the most accessible peaks, which offers incredible views of the Black Sea and the city of New Athos. After climbing to the top, you will be able to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of antiquity, seeing the remains of the fortress of Anakopia.
The mountain on which the remains of the Anakopian fortress are located. The eastern tower, which is in good condition, you can enter it and climb to the observation deck overlooking the Black Sea coast. The ruins of the temple and the fortress walls. There is a water source, a well. It's hard to climb. You can follow the serpentine in the sun, we walked straight through the forest-steeper, but shorter and there is a shadow with a breeze. A trail for good shoes! We climbed for about an hour.
To get there, you need to overcome a hiking route along a mountain serpentine (the path is wide, but over rocks). Be sure to wear comfortable shoes!
I climbed for 35 minutes - from the entrance to the New Athos cave to the top.
The views from the top (350m above sea level) are amazing! It's worth getting up!
It's a great place, the views are gorgeous. The impression was slightly spoiled by the fact that we paid for the passage (although, as everywhere, without tickets or checks, well, okay), but no one bothered to warn us that at a certain time the tower on the mountain closes, and after we climbed up, after a couple of minutes the male caretaker began to kick us out. So keep this in mind and clarify it better in advance.
Beautiful places, gorgeous views of the sea and New Athos. It is not hot to climb in the shade of the trees and you can relax on improvised benches. The climb is a bit heavy.
To look from this peak at the expanses and beauty of Abkhazia = it is worth climbing, and there is an "inexhaustible" spring, well, it is interesting to look at the buildings. A description of the place and other things is present.
The tower offers an overview of the entire New Athos. The road to the tower is a bit difficult in the heat. We cut through the forest. There is a holy spring upstairs, you can get water or drink. The place is interesting. It's worth a visit.
В Абхазии всё что создано природой - шикарно... Добираться комфортнее всего на такси (за 200 р.) до кассы, да, вход на гору платный - взрослый 300, детский (с 7 лет) 150. А как идти дальше - выбирать Вам, можно по дорожке (серпантин), либо напрямки в гору, всё одно, всё едино очумеете от восхождения. Напрямик труднее, но быстрее, в любом случае запаситесь водой ещё внизу, а то всё отпускные деньги потратите на "золотую" воду. Вид сверху красивый, есть неиссякаемый колодец, разрушенный храм, крепость, но если честно...ничего особенного 🤷♀️ Один раз для разнообразия посмотреть.
I was there in June 2024. I recommend visiting this place. If by car, I recommend driving from the entrance to the Athos caves, there is a paid parking upstairs. Entrance to the mountain to the castle is paid. Then walk up to the castle. Be sure to climb the observation tower. Beautiful view!
One of the favorite places in Abkhazia, a place of power, it is better to go there for half a day, fresh air, a view of the entire coast and mountains, there is a well with drinking water.we'll go easy, but it's better to wear training sneakers, take a snack with you, besides this monastery in New Athos there is a lot more to see
The most wonderful place, we climbed the mountain twice. The history, scope, origins of Christianity... is very beautiful. The first lot of the Virgin on earth. This alone is enough to visit and worship the Holy Land.
It's a picturesque place, but to get up, especially if it's warm and the sun is shining, kapets, be patient and strong! Entrance is 300 rubles per adult
Climbing the Iverskaya Mountain is not so easy!But it's worth all the effort!Magnificent views, an inexhaustible well have restored our vitality.The tower is magnificent!Temple.It's worth touching the story.
Гора, вершина которой возвышается на 350 метров над уровнем моря. Подъём довольно крутой. Подножье горы в жилых зданиях. На высоте, примерно, 150 метров вход на территорию Анакопийской крепости, некоторые сооружения которой датируются 7 веком и располагаются на вершине и подступах к ней. Вход на территорию- платный. В строительстве в разные века принимали участие греки, византийцы, генуэзцы. На противоположном от Нового Афона склоне- жилой посёлок.
Высота и красота! Вид открывается потрясающе завораживающий! Путь не легкий, в жару сложно! Но под тенью деревьев хорошо идется! Идет ремонт стен башен! На верху неиссякаемый колодец! Как сказала женщина монахиня, набирающая воду, очень волшебная вода! Набрали бутылочку с собой!
Fantastic views, breathtaking views of the sea, snow-capped mountains, the New Athos Monastery and the city below. Delicious mountain air, and I want to breathe it. Yes, it's hard to get up there, but it's worth it.
It is high and long to climb, but even in the fog it makes sense to come there, to an inexhaustible well, a temple without a roof, to medieval buildings and mountain cows)))
You can visit if you are ready to go a lot.The road is not always convenient.There are beautiful gardens on the right and left.the place is interesting for those who are interested in history.Beautiful views from the fortress and the opportunity to take good photos
Вход платный!!! Если вы любите крепости и прекрасные виды, не пожалейте сил, возьмите с с собой запас воды, не забудьте головой убор, наденьте одежду, защищающую от солнца, удобную обувь и вперёд! Дорога от кассы грунтовая, петляет серпантином. Местами можно её изгибы сократить тропинками сильно в гору, если вас это не пугает. По пути есть скамейки для отдыха. Тени очень мало. В жаркую погоду солнце просто жарит, учитывайте это. И помните, что в туалет есть наверху, не нужно устраивать его под каждым кустом!!! Пахнет!
Красивое место. Стоит посетить крепость на вершине горы. С башни открывается прекрасный вид натвесь Новый Афон. Сохранились остатки церкви. Будьте готовы к тяжёлому подъему на гору, одевайте удобную обувь!
A great place, a must-visit when traveling to Abkhazia. If your health is not completely bad, then you will be able to go in. Shoes preferably something like sneakers, sneakers and sandals are uncomfortable.
As a child in the USSR, my grandmother and I went to this mountain, there was a spring in the ruins, and it was believed that anyone who drank this water would not be sick for a whole year. The water is delicious, we drank. But the climb is difficult. The entrance was free, not everyone agreed to go uphill to such a height.
An interesting ascent to the Iverskaya mountain. If in the summer during the heat of the day, it's a little heavy. Take drinking water with you. You can get to the barrier by taxi, and then by yourself. But the view from the mountain is wonderful.
Прекрасное место! Обзор нереальный! Еле забрались на вершину, но оно того стоит! История поглощает и завораживает! Красоты фантастические! Фото приложение имеется! Рекомендую, но с детками очень тяжеловато будет.
Это стоит увидеть! Долгий подъем будет вознагражден чудесными видами на Новый Афон, горы, море. А прохладная вода из неиссякаемого колодца утолит жажду.
Место силы Абхазии!! Подъем тяжеловат, но дошедшего ждёт невероятный вид на Новый Афон. Можно подняться на саму башню. Есть неиссякаемый колодец с водой. Оборудована часовня. В сезон продают свечи.
